Brain stem glioma is a distinct category of central nervous system tumor because of its unique location and behavior. The histology of brain stem gliomas spans the spectrum of gliomas located elsewhere in the central nervous system. The cause of these tumors is still unknown.
An infection caused by strep or staph bacteria can lead to toxic shock syndrome. These bacteria are common and usually don't cause problems. But in rare cases, the toxins enter the bloodstream and cause a severe immune reaction. This reaction causes the symptoms of TSS.
Toxic shock syndrome symptoms can definitely be alarming and TSS is a life-threatening situation, so prompt medical care is absolutely key. Much of the time TSS patients are menstruating women, but itâs important to know that any man, woman or child can exhibit toxic shock syndrome symptoms.
